normansbay Posted December 19, 2023 #1 Share Posted December 19, 2023 I see that starting in January 2024 Lisbon is to start charging a tourist tax on each Cruise ship passenger at €2 each. Does anyone know if P&O are going to charge the passengers or absorb it in the fare? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I initially read it as saying that P&O would be charging it. But if it's only 2 euros then I'm not too bothered whether P&O explicitly make a charge for it or not.

Rare Selbourne Posted December 19, 2023 #3 Share Posted December 19, 2023 I’d like to think that this might result in less port calls to Lisbon, as we’ve been so many times, but as it’s so small I doubt that it will make any difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwhe Posted December 19, 2023 #4 Share Posted December 19, 2023 "P&O to charge Lisbon tourist tax from Jan 24" But you are asking "IF" they will be charging, your thread title says they "ARE" charging. Do you work in the newspaper industry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare david63 Posted December 20, 2023 #7 Share Posted December 20, 2023 I would pay €2 not to go to Lisbon - it always rains whenever we call there! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palaceman Posted December 20, 2023 #8 Share Posted December 20, 2023 It's always worth getting off. A quick walk into the city centre for a couple of Pastel de Natas washed down with several glasses of Port. Yum 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yum We have been to Lisbon many times and probably done it to death but now we head straight for the train station and go to one of the local towns some of which are really nice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete14 Posted December 21, 2023 #11 Share Posted December 21, 2023 I would happily pay more because Lisbon is one of my favourite ports. For such a small amount, I am fairly sure P&O would absorb it as an extra cost, at least until the cruises for summer 2026 become available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
